DESCRIPTION:
(from ABC's press release, March 2016) Presence Fernandez (Stephanie Sigman) is not your average Army Corporal. She didn't join the service to fight terrorism, even though she did do a tour of duty in Afghanistan as a Counter-Insurgency Operator. She and her friend joined to avoid going to prison for theft. This got her out of the LA gang scene and probably saved her life, but not her friend's who died in combat. Now a civilian, she needs money, a car, and a job. She gets an interesting call from the very wealthy Duchess Avedon, her ex-fiancé's mother who never approved of her. Duchess is looking for her son, Chad, and knows if anyone can find him, it is Presence. She will need to hold her own against LA's baddest as well as LA's finest - the police. Biker dudes try to beat her up for snooping around, but she gets out alive - with the information she needs from them. With that lead and knowing Chad's style, she tracks him to his upscale apartment in Hollywood. But her former fiancé gets to her like no one else. After they spend the night together, she agrees to tell his mother that she cannot find him, while accepting a fee that is double his mother's. But she's made a critical error by leaving him in his apartment-- his body is discovered in the Pacific Ocean. Devastated by his death, she finds herself a person of interest by the police. To make sure she doesn't go back to prison, she will track down his killer. In doing so, she forms a connection with one of the police, Mike McKay. Out of tragedy, she starts to see what could be a new life for herself as an unlicensed private detective.
